Spanish developer FRV has agreed to participate in a €100 million effort to generate hydrogen via a 10 MW electrolyzer, powered by a 20 MW solar plant.

pv magazine recently spoke to Asier Ukar, managing director & senior consultant at PI Berlin in Spain, about the Spanish solar market, PV module prices, the most common failures in installations, and PV manufacturing in Europe.

The 50 MW Highview Enlasa project will be located in Diego de Almagro, in Chile’s Atacama Region.

The system will power the broadband transport networks. The solar panels are “made with 100% Venezuelan engineering.”

Brazil has installed 1 GW of new PV capacity in the past month alone. The distributed-generation solar segment and bilateral PPAs for large-scale PV plants are driving the market.

The 50 MW facility is located in the region of Navarra and is operated by German specialist Rinovasol. The company buys, fixes and certifies the panels and puts them back on the market, with a new datasheet and a five-year warranty.

The system, developed by Spanish specialist Alusín Solar, is being tested by Endesa in a 9.8 MW project for self-consumption. The mounting structure is made with aluminum bars that, instead of being fixed to the roof with screws, are attached through a double-sided adhesive.

The U.K.-based solar developer has joined forces with Portugal’s Insun to build solar parks totaling 1.35 GW over the next five years. In Greece, it wants to build another 640 MW in partnership with Kiefer TEK.

Spanish start-up Solum has installed the first solar pavement in a port area in Valencia as part of the strategy set by Puertos del Estado for the complete decarbonization of port areas by 2030.

The auction is intended at providing the missing capacity resulting from the closure of the Andorra thermal power plant in Teruel.
